BOO!

Hello everyone!
How are you all? I have a lovely altered sampled for you today. And I have to introduce a new artist who will contribute to this blog: Kathy Byrne.
Kathy is one of our über talented tutors, some of you might have seen her amazing work with grungeboard paper at the Extravaganzas. And from now on, I will post her beautiful samples on this blog regularly. So if you have been eager to see artwork using grungeboard, or stampbord or anything altered, you are going to LOVE her work!

Kathy (and 6 other tutors) will be demoing at the Autumn mini fest on November 6th and will be teaching a Christmas all-day class on Saturday 13th. You can already book online (click here) or check out the latest class list HERE and call the shop to book.

I know you guys in England (or France) don't celebrate Halloween much. I remember trick or treating with my kids when I lived in the UK, either people had gone out of their way and decorated beautifully, and were all dressed up when they opened the door to give sweets away. Or there would be lights on that would turn off as soon as we rang the doorbell. ooops, I guess it's not everyone's cuppa then...
Here in Canada, it's a big thing. We have now our Halloween decorations out, and so have many people in every streets around us. There are pumpkins everywhere on most front porches too and the kids can't wait. It's my daughter's favourite holiday (yes, before Christmas!).

And if there is one decoration I wish I had in my house, is that altered H that Kathy has made! You are going to love all the details on this, weather you are a Halloween person or not, this is truly stunning!
Check this out...

Here's what Kathy had to say (any material in pink can be clicked on to find it on line)

Warning! The Halloween H is NOT a quick project. In fact, it takes hours to make (because of the drying times), but the final outcome is great fun and, if carefully wrapped and stored, should last a few years.
